Colors are associated with source locators such as URLs that identify sources found by a search, in order to enable a searcher to see at a glance how closely the search results match keywords that convey the searcher's intended search criteria. A browser prompts keyword entry, reads the keywords, associates colors with the keywords to form a color code, and displays a color code map that explains the color code to the searcher. The browser sends the keywords to a search engine. The search engine performs a search, and sends to the browser source locators that identify sources of interest such as web pages, along with occurrence data indicative of how often each of the keywords appears in each of the sources. For each source locator, the browser formulates a correlation indicator, which includes a visual area that is colored according to the color code and the occurrence data for occurrence of each keyword. The browser displays links to the sources and the associated correlation indicators to the searcher.
